PHP not pulling metadata from custom fields

Question

I'm developing a WordPress website that allows input via custom fields and then outputs that onto a different page. When a user signs up, they ask someone to be a "trusted member" by sending them an invite link which has a unique identifier which when the invitee registers, the UID is stored as metadata on their account.

This metadata is then used (or supposed to be) to create a section on a page that displays some of the information about the person who invited them.

(Long story short, the site is a memorial type site that someone uploads their last wishes to. The trusted verifier is a nominated person who informs the site owner of their members death so the site owner can act on their wishes.)

Basically, what I'm trying to do is grab the metadata from the user account then use that to grab the name of the person.

I've added the full code for this function into codepen here: https://codepen.io/david-wdc/pen/LYEoOXe

add_shortcode('trusted_verifier_dashboard', 'trusted_verifier_dashboard');

function trusted_verifier_dashboard(){

  ob_start();
  $user_id = get_current_user_id();

  $current_user = wp_get_current_user();

  if ( in_array( 'trusted', (array) $current_user->roles ) ) {
    //The user has the "trusted" role

    $unique_list = get_user_meta( $user_id, 'tv_member' );
    $id_list = get_user_meta( $user_id, 'tv_uid' );
    $row_list = get_user_meta( $user_id, 'tv_row' );

    var_dump($unique_list);
    var_dump($id_list);
    var_dump($row_list);

     foreach($unique_list as $row => $value){
         echo ($value);
     }


       /*
       *         tv_member  {
       *                array (0 => '9dz4KEPQHB6ZCKjZ9MG2Jl');
       *         }
       *         tv_row  {
       *                array (0 => '1');
       *         }
       *         tv_uid  {
       *                array (0 => '1');
       *         }
       */

foreach($id_list as $row => $array)
{

  $member_id = $tv_uid;
  $unique = $tv_member;
  $row = $tv_row;
  $image = '';

  $unique_lookup = get_user_meta($member_id, 'trusted_verifiers_'.$row_list.'_tv_unique', true);

  $fname = get_user_meta($member_id, 'first_name', true);
  $sname = get_user_meta($member_id, 'last_name', true);
  $city = get_user_meta($member_id, 'billing_city', true);
  $photo = get_user_meta($member_id, '_memorial_photo_0_upload_image', true);

  if ($unique == $unique_lookup){
       echo "Unique code matches (MU:".$unique_lookup." / U:".$unique.")
";

      ?>
                                                            
                                                                
                                                                    ';
        }

(I've added a comment with some of the metadata that it's pulling)

If you need me to add more information/code or you've got a question about it, just ask!

Thanks

I have managed to fix this,

I was trying to pass through a whole object into a function but it was only expecting a single element in the object.

The new code is below if anybody comes across something similar!

add_shortcode('trusted_verifier_dashboard', 'trusted_verifier_dashboard');

function trusted_verifier_dashboard(){

ob_start();
$user_id = get_current_user_id();

$current_user = wp_get_current_user();

if ( in_array( 'trusted', (array) $current_user->roles ) ) {
//The user has the "trusted" role

//$unique_list = get_user_meta( $user_id, 'tv_member' );
$id_list = get_user_meta( $user_id, 'tv_uid' );
//$row_list = get_user_meta( $user_id, 'tv_row' );

//var_dump($unique_list);
//var_dump($id_list);
//var_dump($row_list);

 //foreach($unique_list as $row => $value){
     //echo ($value);
 //}

 $current_user_id = get_current_user_id();
 //echo "Current User Id: "; print_r ($current_user_id);



 foreach($id_list as $row => $array) {

          $member_id = $array;
          $unique = get_user_meta($current_user_id, 'tv_member', true);
          //$row = get_user_meta($current_user_id, 'tv_row', true);
          $image = '';
          $unique_lookup = get_user_meta($member_id, 'trusted_verifiers_'.$row.'_tv_unique', true);
          $fname = get_user_meta($member_id, 'first_name', true);
          $sname = get_user_meta($member_id, 'last_name', true);
          $city = get_user_meta($member_id, 'billing_city', true);
          $photo = get_user_meta($member_id, '_memorial_photo_0_upload_image', true);

          /*echo "
member_id: "; print_r ($array); echo "
unique key: ";print_r ($unique); echo "
unique lookup: "; print_r ($unique_lookup); echo "
row: "; print_r ($row);*/

          if ($unique == $unique_lookup){
              // echo "
Unique code matches (MU:".$unique_lookup." / U:".$unique.")
";

              ?>


    ';
                }

              endwhile; 

            endif;
